Compounding pharmacy

[shoshin]

Quix and all,

I mentioned on the Monday thread about there being no compounding pharmacy nearby (the closest one is about forty minutes), but I was probably too brief. The neuro actually anticipated this problem and gave me a URL for an online compounding pharmacy in Colorado. It's called College Pharmacy and it's at http://www.collegepharmacy.com/contact.asp.

However, I am *still* waiting for the new patient representative to call me back plus they weren't sure if they will be able to take my insurance (and I have no idea how expensive this drug is).

So if this doesn't work out, I may be looking for other options.

They do have a page on the drug I'm supposed to try at http://www.collegepharmacy.com/specializations/ms.asp. It says, "4-Aminopyridine (4-AP) is a drug shown to improve visual function and motor skills and relieve fatigue in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). 4-AP is most effective in patients with the chronic progressive form of MS, in patients who are temperature sensitive, and in patients who have had ms for longer than three years."

Central Drugs in California is also a good compounding pharmacy.  If you need it, PM me and I will send you their phone number.
